Choosing a Doctor and a Hospital
Once you have learned you have cancer, the next step is to make sure you get the best possible medical care and treatment. Choosing your doctor and treatment center is one of the most important decisions you will make. There are many excellent cancer care centers in the United States, but how do you know where to look?
Here are some things to think about as you choose your doctor and hospital.
Quality cancer care
When you first learn about a cancer diagnosis, there are many things to think about. Most people with cancer are not experts on cancer treatment. You probably don't feel like you have the time, energy, or resources to figure out how to get quality cancer care. You might need some help.
The doctor who found your cancer is the first person you should ask: "If you found out that you or someone you loved had this cancer, which doctor would you go to for treatment?" In many cases, the doctor will go ahead and suggest another doctor even if you don't ask.
If your doctor isn't sure of your diagnosis, but thinks there's a chance you might have cancer, you can ask: "If you were in my place, which doctor would you see first?" Ask for at least 2 or 3 names, and find out what these doctors' specialties are. Find out if they practice at a cancer treatment center. Then later you can find out more about the treatment centers and the doctors.
To help you with this, listed below are 3 organizations that work with cancer treatment centers and can point you to centers that offer only the best in cancer care.
Commission on Cancer
The Commission on Cancer (CoC), a program of the American College of Surgeons, approves hospitals or facilities that have committed to provide the best in cancer diagnosis and treatment. Its list of approved facilities includes more than 1,500 cancer centers in the United States.
A good way to judge the quality of cancer care at a treatment facility is to find out if it has been approved by the CoC. If it has, you know it meets certain standards and offers a range of cancer care services. No matter its size or location, its ability to deliver quality cancer care is constantly being looked at by the CoC.
CoC-approved cancer programs are found in many different kinds of hospitals or facilities. They may be in major treatment centers, community hospitals, or other diagnostic and treatment centers. Approved programs must provide state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment services. They have many different specialists available to treat patients, they take part in a cancer registry that collects all kinds of information on cancer, and they can give you information on clinical trials and new treatment options.
CoC-approved cancer programs must also offer life-long follow-up care to people with cancer. This means that any problems, such as late side effects, recurrences, or new cancers, are found and treated as soon as possible.
To find a CoC-approved center near you, see the "To learn more" section for contact information on the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer.
National Cancer Institute
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is part of the US National Institutes for Health. The NCI is dedicated to better understanding, diagnosing, treating, and preventing cancer. Its goal is to support and enhance the quality of clinical cancer research.
The NCI works with more than 60 cancer centers in the United States. It recognizes 3 levels of cancer treatment centers, ranging from a comprehensive cancer center to the more basic cancer treatment center. These centers are often housed at universities where research is done, but you don't have to take part in research studies to be treated at one of these centers.
You can call us to find out about the NCI-designated Cancer Center nearest to you. Or, you can read more about the NCI and their Cancer Center program by visiting the NCI Web site at www.cancer.gov. The NCI Cancer Information Service offers information about your cancer and treatment options, which is also available on their Web site. All of this information is free.
Children's Oncology Group
The Children's Oncology Group's mission is to cure and prevent cancer in children and teens through scientific research and comprehensive care. More than 90% of children and teens with cancer in the United States are treated at centers that are Children's Oncology Group (COG) members.
COG has more than 200 affiliated centers that are linked to a university or children's hospital. To find a listing of COG institutions by state, go to their Web site at www.curesearch.org/resources/cog.aspx.
Choosing a good hospital
Some people actually tackle finding a hospital first, and then look for an oncologist who practices there. For people who find a doctor first, most doctors who treat cancer work with hospitals that are good at cancer care. Talk with your doctor, and ask other doctors and nurses for their opinions on hospitals in your area. The Commission on Cancer is a good place to start checking out hospitals near you.
It's also important to find a hospital that has experience treating your type of cancer. For example, larger hospitals may have more experience with different kinds of cancers and offer more services for cancer patients. If you live in a small town, you may need to travel to a larger city to find a center with enough cancer experience.
A bigger hospital might be especially important if you have a rare type of cancer or if you have something unusual occur along with your diagnosis. Larger institutions will have more experience in treating less common cancers. This experience advantage may be the key to getting the best possible treatment and be well worth any extra travel or inconvenience to you in the short term. They may also be more likely to have clinical trials (research studies) you can take part in. If you are in a large city or are willing to travel, NCI comprehensive cancer centers offer a wide range of treatment services. They usually have a lot of cancer treatment experience as well.
You may also go online to find out if nearby hospitals meet certain quality standards and are accredited by The Joint Commission at www.jointcommission.org. Keep in mind, though, that accreditation does not necessarily mean the hospital has expertise in cancer care. Online, The Joint Commission's Quality Check allows you to check on the performance of your local health care facility. From their home page, click the "Find an Accredited or Certified Organization" button, then search for your health care organization by its name, zip code, or state. If you don't have Internet access, ask your local public library staff if they can help you, or call the Joint Commission help line at 630-792-5800.
Choosing your doctor
Going through the process of choosing a doctor can take time. Many people are tempted to rush through this in order to start treatment sooner. Keep in mind, though, that most people with cancer have enough time to be sure that they get the best care possible. Ask the doctor who found your cancer if you need to take action right away or whether you can take a short but safe amount of time to check out all your options.
You are looking for a doctor who treats your type of cancer. You may need a special type of oncologist (cancer doctor), or even more than one kind of oncologist for your treatment. There are 3 basic types of cancer treatment doctors:
- Medical oncologists
- Surgical oncologists
- Radiation oncologists
Which one you need depends on the kind of treatment used for each type of cancer. There are also gynecologic surgical oncologists who specialize in treating women with cervical, ovarian, or uterine cancer. Pediatric oncologists treat children and teens with cancer.
During your cancer treatment you may see more than one kind of cancer doctor, but your cancer and treatment type will determine who your main cancer doctor is. Carefully choosing the doctor you need now (such as a good surgeon, radiologist, and/or medical oncologist) will pay off for years to come. Your relationship with this person will probably last through treatment into long-term follow-up care.
Decide what you want and need in a doctor
Before you start looking for a doctor, think about the qualities you want your doctor to have. A few ideas are listed below, but there may be others you want to add.
- Choose a doctor who has experience with your type of cancer. Studies show that doctors have better success treating a condition if they have a lot of experience with it, so this is an important factor.
- You will probably need a doctor who is part of your health plan (often called a preferred provider) and/or accepts your health insurance. Otherwise, you may have to pay for your health care yourself. (For more on this, call us for a copy of Health Insurance and Financial Assistance for the Cancer Patient or read it online at www.cancer.org)
- Pick a doctor who has privileges (is able to practice) at a hospital that you are willing to use. Doctors can only send patients to hospitals where they have admitting privileges.
- Choose a doctor you feel comfortable with. Languages spoken, gender, ethnicity, and educational background may be important factors for you. You may also have strong feelings about personality and bedside manner. Some people want their doctors to have a business-like manner, while others value a doctor who can help with their emotional health as well as their medical needs. Many people whose illnesses require long-term treatment prefer a friendly relationship with their doctor.
Make a list of doctors who might be a good fit
One of the best ways to choose a doctor to treat your cancer is to get referrals from people you trust, like your primary care doctor. You might also try to speak with others in your area who have been treated for the type of cancer you have to find out who treated them. Some hospitals and communities also have physician referral services available by phone or online. These allow you to learn more about the doctors in your area, such as their areas of expertise, medical certifications, office locations, languages spoken, and so on. You can find these referral services through many hospitals by calling their main number or visiting the hospital Web site. Or you can ask your primary care doctor about them.
If you are in a health plan, you can check the names you get against their list of network doctors. This is usually available online or by calling the member services hotline. You will still want to find out more about each doctor before you decide.
Finding out more: calls, appointments, and the first visit
Once you've found doctors that seem like a good fit for you, call their offices and ask if they are on your health insurance plan and are taking new patients. You might also want to find out which hospitals they work in and where they can admit patients.
The next step is to schedule appointments with a few doctors. Check with the doctors' offices and your insurance company to find out if this kind of visit is covered. If not, you may end up asking some of these questions on the phone until you've narrowed down your choices.
The most important question to ask them is how much experience they have in treating your type of cancer. If you are meeting with surgeons, find out how often they perform the type of surgery you need, how many of these surgeries they have performed before, and what their success rate is. You may also have to ask how they define "success," depending on the cancer type.
Along with finding out the doctor's medical experience and credentials, notice how comfortable you feel with him or her. One way to measure this is to ask yourself these questions after your appointment.
- Did the doctor give you a chance to ask questions?
- Did you feel the doctor was listening to you?
- Did the doctor seem comfortable answering your questions?
- Did the doctor talk to you in a way that you could understand?
- Did you feel the doctor respected you?
- Did the doctor mention treatment options and ask your preferences about different kinds of treatments?
- Did you feel the doctor spent enough time with you?
Trust yourself when deciding whether this doctor is right for you. It may take more than a single visit before you and your doctor really get to know each other.
Some of the questions about the doctor you may want answered include:
Is the doctor board certified?
Doctors who are board certified have had extra training in special areas, such as medical oncology (cancer care), hematology (diseases of the blood), or gynecologic surgery (female reproductive system). They have taken and passed certification tests given by doctors in their field. To keep their certification, doctors must continue their education and keep up with advances and changes in their specialty area.
Not all doctors who are specialists are board certified, and doctors do not need to be board certified to be excellent caregivers. Still, many doctors become board certified in at least one specialty.
To find out if a doctor is board certified, contact the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) at www.abms.org. The ABMS has a list of board certified doctors who subscribe to the ABMS service. You can do a free search for all doctors in a certain specialty by state. Or you can type in the name of the doctor you have questions about to learn about their specialty. You can also learn more about what board certification means at the ABSM Web site.
Information on doctors who have extra training and certification may also be available at your public library. Ask for the Official ABMS Directory of Board Certified Medical Specialists, or get your librarian to help you.
What is the doctor's experience?
Find out how long the doctor has been in practice. Ask how many people with cancer he or she has treated. If you are thinking about surgery or a special procedure, you may want to ask about the number of these procedures the doctor has performed. How many patients is the doctor currently treating? How many are cancer patients? Keep in mind that different types of cancer are treated very differently. How much experience does this doctor have with your type of cancer?
Along with finding out about the doctor's experience, you may also want to find out who the leading specialists in the field are. A visit to a medical library may be useful. You can do research on the Internet, too. You can start with us, or go to other respected Web sites like cancer.gov, healthfinder.gov, or medlineplus.gov. Look for the names of doctors who have written about the cancer you have and whose work is most often quoted. If your doctor has published research, you may ask to look at those articles online or get copies at the library. By doing so, you can learn more about the doctor's approach to cancer treatment.
What hospitals is the doctor affiliated with?
More than ever, cancer is treated outside the hospital. Still, a person with cancer might need daily visits to an outpatient treatment center that is linked to a hospital, so the hospital is still important. For some treatments and certain problems, a hospital stay is needed. Where you will get inpatient hospital cancer care depends on where your doctor practices. Find out where you would go for surgery or other care. Check with your health insurance company to see which doctors and hospitals are covered. See the section called "Choosing a good hospital" to learn more about this.
Is the doctor affiliated with any medical schools?
Teaching with a respected medical school may suggest that a doctor is a leader in his or her field. Doctors who teach and still practice medicine often are in contact with medical experts from around the country. They may know more about the latest treatments.
Other questions to ask:
- Are you or your practice involved in clinical trials (medical studies) of new treatments?
- What are your office hours?
- How can I reach a doctor after hours?
- Who will see me when you are on vacation?
- Who else will be on my health care team?
- May I bring someone with me to my appointments?
It's helpful to ask around about a doctor's reputation, but in the end, trust your gut. You should feel comfortable not only with your doctor's ability to treat your cancer but also with how he or she treats you as a person. Can you talk with this doctor? Does he or she listen to you? If it doesn't feel right, keep looking.
Other ways to find or learn more about a doctor
The American Medical Association (AMA), which can be found on the Web at www.ama-assn.org, represents many doctors in the United States and offers a doctor locator service called "Doctor Finder." Through this free service, you can find information about doctors, such as their contact information, medical school, residency training, and specialty area(s).
Another source of information is the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), on the Web at www.asco.org. This is an international medical society representing cancer specialists involved in clinical research and patient care. They provide an oncologist directory, which is a database of ASCO members called the "Membership Directory." You will have to create a guest account to use this database, but it's free.
You might also contact the nearest cancer centers and ask for doctors who are specialists in your type of cancer. Consider asking family, friends, nurses, and other doctors in your community. Most hospitals have a doctor referral service, too. You could also call medical schools or medical societies in your area. Once you have come up with some names, you might start by getting the answers to some of the same questions you asked before, for example, board certification and experience.
Second opinions
Even after you have chosen your doctor, you may want to get a second opinion. This is an especially good idea if you feel uncertain about the proposed treatment. For example, if you have prostate cancer and a urologist has recommended surgery, you may want to see a radiation oncologist to learn about non-surgical treatment. Consider getting a second opinion when:
- You want to be sure you have explored all options.
- You think the doctor underestimates the seriousness of your illness.
- The doctor doesn't know what is wrong with you.
- You have a rare or unusual cancer.
- You think there may be another treatment available.
- Your insurance plan requires it.
Before you begin looking for a second opinion, contact your insurance company to find out what your policy covers. In some cases, you may have to get a second opinion from another doctor who is part of your health plan before the plan will pay for your treatment.
Tell your doctor you plan to get a second opinion. It's common for patients to do this, so most doctors are comfortable with the request. You may want to ask your doctor to recommend someone. You might want to look at Finding doctors in the "National Web sites and Organizations section" for suggestions.
Once you have decided who you will see for your second opinion, ask that your medical records, original x-rays, and test results be shared with the referral doctor. You will need to sign a release of information form. Or you may want to take copies of your medical records to the new doctor yourself. Be sure to bring all of your medicines (including vitamins, supplements, and drugs you take only when needed) with you on your first visit. The new doctor will review your medical history, prior test results, do a physical exam, and maybe do other tests, too.

Dark beer makes its way North and East (Translation)
3 December 2010
Velké Popovice, December 2, 2010. The popularity of Czech dark beer abroad is significantly rising. 25,000 hl. of the dark beer best-seller Dark Velkopopovický Kozel was exported during the first 10 months of this year. And nearly half of it made its way to only one country, to Finland. There was a total increase of 22% in comparison with the same time period last year, an increase of 4,500 hl. South Korea became the biggest new commercial outlet with 600 hl. of newly exported beer.
Traditionally, Finland represents the biggest export sales. So far, 12,000 hl. of Dark Velkopopovický Kozel has been sold there this year. In Finland, it is the most popular imported brand and it is the symbol of high quality within the category of dark beers. Russia, with its 3,000 hl., is a very important market for the Central Bohemian brewery. Germany, Israel, Ukraine, and Belarus are among other countries with import volume higher than 1,000. Dark Kozel is exported to total of 23 countries on three continents.
"This year we started to export Dark Velkopopovický Kozel to several other countries. Croatia, Sweden, Switzerland, and South Korea are examples of our new trading outlets. South Korea also became the biggest purchaser of dark Popovice beer," says Jiří Fusek, head maltster of Velkopopovický Kozel company. Looking at the export increase percentiles, we see that Lithuania has been the high jumper of the year when it comes to the consummation of dark Popovice beer. Here, sales numbers doubled in comparison with last year.
Since 2000, dark Velkopopovický Kozel has been the only dark beer within the portfolio of Plzeňský Prazdroj, Inc. However, abroad, it is not a popular beer just by chance. Its quality has been indicated by numerous regular successes at different international competitions. For example, it was awarded gold medals at the International Beer Championship in Australia, and at the International Competition of Quality "Monde Selection" in Belgium. The most recent success Dark Kozel has taken in was at the Australian International Beer Awards, where it received a silver medal in the category of dark beers.
Finland – beer culture in the country with the biggest import of Dark Kozel
In a supermarket, you can buy beer with a volume of up to 4.4% alcohol. More potent beer is more expensive and can only be bought in the specialized store Alko, which is the only reseller of heavy drinks in Finland. You can buy all stronger alcoholic beverages in Alko, from strong beer and wine all the way up to vodka.
Thirds of beer are very popular in Finland, typically in cans. Glass bottles are rare. However, it is necessary to mention that cans are refundable in Finland. In restaurants, the draft beer goes into 0,33 l glasses. Prices, however, are notably higher than in our country, and they can hike high above the sum of 100 Czech koruna. In terms of the consumption per capita, the Finnish have a consumption level of 50% of that of the Czechs, and traditionally place somewhere around 10th place.
When it comes to traditional Finnish beer, it tastes very similar to Czech lagers, and dark beer is as popular. That is perhaps why Dark Kozel is so popular there. However, Velkopopovický Kozel is distinct in its proof rate and thus in its increased drinkability. It came to the Finnish market in 1995. In Finland, Kozel is considered a premium beer.

A titular see, suffragan of Melitene in Armenia Secunda. In the sixth century "Notitiæ episcopatuum" of Antioch, Sophene is a suffragan of Amida in Mesopotamia ("Echos d'Orient", X, 145). Justinian in a letter to Zetas, "magister militum" of Armenia and Pontus Polemoniacus, grants him jurisdiction over various provinces, among them Sophene and Sophenene, "in qua est Martyropolis" ("Codex. Just.", I, 29, 5). At the beginning of the seventh century George of Cyprus ("Descriptio orbis romani", ed. Gelzer, 49) mentions Sophene in Armenia Quarta, and we know elsewhere that Arsamosata was the capital of the latter province. From these texts we conclude, first, that there were two distinct districts, Sophene situated more to the north and very well known to the classical writers as an Armenian province, subject to the Roman Empire, and, second, Sophenene, situated near Martyropolis and Amida. The latter is probably the titular see. Le Quien ("Oriens christianus", II, 1001), mentions two bishops of Sophene: Arsaphus, present at the Council of Constantinople in 381; Euphemius, at Chalcedon, 451. The exact situation of this bishopric is unknown.

In Tiger's demise, a small break for investorsAugust 17, 2012: 12:07 PM ET
While many hedge funds use investor money to fight their legal battles, Tiger Asia is paying for that cost itself.
FORTUNE -- When Bill Hwang decided to shutter his Tiger Asia hedge fund in response to an ongoing insider trading investigation, he became part of a small group of money managers who have closed down amid regulatory scrutiny. Arthur Samberg wound down Pequot Capital Management in 2009, when the Securities and Exchange Commission began a second investigation of his firm; and David Ganek closed Level Global amid an ongoing insider trading investigation.
But these well-known closures are not the norm. "If everyone who was under investigation at any one time shuttered, the population of asset managers would be materially decreased," says Ron Geffner, a former SEC prosecutor who now provides legal advice to hedge funds as a partner at Sadis & Goldberg.
One reason why funds may want to operate while under government scrutiny: it gives them a cushion they can use to pay expenses. Most partnership funds stipulate that managing members will be indemnified against legal expenses incurred as part of events like a government investigation. "Most investors don't understand -- and would not like -- the fact that they can bear the financial burden that comes with cooperating with subpoenas and investigators," says Peter Rup, chief investment officer at Artemis Wealth Advisors. "I know of one fund that spent $1 million just complying with subpoenas."
While Tiger Asia is allowed to shield managers from legal costs, a source close to Hwang says that no investor money has been used to comply with the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong's ongoing, three-year insider trading investigation into the firm. The SEC has also requested trading records and documents from Tiger Asia.
MORE: Libor and the folly of deregulation
In another high-profile insider trading investigation, David Einhorn and his firm Greenlight Capital were fined about $11.2 million by UK financial regulators. In a statement about the case, Einhorn emphasized that he and Greenlight would pay the fines and legal costs, not investors.
But Rup says that it's unusual when a manager decides to be personally at risk for the cost of investigations, as Hwang and Einhorn have done. "If Hwang is found to have done nothing wrong and he has a good track record, then there is no reason capital won't return to him," Rup says. "In this case, he's showing that he's acting as a fiduciary on my behalf."
Hwang, who was seeded by hedge fund legend Julian Robertson, did put up some very good numbers. According to a letter sent to investors, Tiger Asia produced a net annualized return of 15.8% from inception in January 2001 through July 2012. During the same period, the average annual return for the S&P 500 was 2.3%. (That record did not keep investors from fleeing Tiger Asia due to the investigation. His assets peaked at about $3 billion in 2010 and currently hover around $1.2 billion.)
No matter what happens with the Tiger Asia probe, it's also possible that Hwang may not want to return to running a hedge fund. "We've seen that for some very wealthy managers, the burden of dealing with regulators outweighs the benefits derived from managing the assets of others," says Geffner.
Duquesne Capital founder Stanley Druckenmiller, Atticus Capital founder Tim Barakett, Shumway Capital's Chris Shumway, and Carl Icahn have all returned money to investors so that they can just invest their own money. But if Hwang can prove his innocence and decides that he'd like to manage outside money again, he may have created plenty of goodwill simply by returning capital now.

Libertyville High band director fired for 'inappropriate relationship' with former student
NEWS-SUN STAFF REPORT January 15, 2013 10:06AM
Libertyville High School band director Jeff Daeschler. | Special to Sun-Times Media
Updated: March 17, 2013 7:50PM
LIBERTYVILLE — The band director at Libertyville High School was fired Monday night by the Community High School District 128 Board of Education for having an inappropriate physical relationship with an 18-year-old student when she attended the school several years ago.
District Superintendent Prentiss Lea said the district is also seeking to revoke the teaching credentials of Jeff Daeschler through the Illinois State Board of Education.
"Although legal requirements prevent us from revealing specific information about the investigative process, we handled this matter with the utmost urgency it deserved and immediately followed all legally required reporting and investigative protocols," Lea said. "Mr. Daeschler was immediately removed from his teaching duties pending the final outcome of the investigation. "
He said the decision to dismiss Daeschler, who took over as band director in 2010, was based "on the weight and validity of investigative evidence."
"He was always bright-eyed, and well-liked by the kids," said one band parent, noting officials have been "really tight-lipped at the school" since Daeschler went on administrative in November. "One line of thought had him away to look after a sick relative," the parent added.
Lea said officials will be available to meet with parents at 7 p.m. today, Jan. 15, in the LHS Studio Theatre,.
He said allegations raised against Daeschler "are often frustrating because investigative and legal requirements prevent us from being as forthcoming" with parents during the investigative process.
"In addition, in a substantiated case like this, there is a victim," Lea said. "We want to do everything possible to protect her identity, so that she is not victimized again through public exposure of her identity throughout and after the process."
A Libertyville police spokesman said Tuesday the department's School Resource Officer interviewed the student and there was no basis for any criminal charges because the young woman was an adult.
Lea said District 128 officials will "continue to act quickly to thoroughly investigate any allegation of inappropriate behavior by our staff toward students, and we will rely on the investigative evidence to render a final determination."
As for the band program, Lea said Daeschler's classes are being taught by music instructors from Libertyville and Vernon Hills high schools, and officials are in discussion with former Libertyville High and Director Don Shupe, who retired in 2010, about his return to the program in February.
He said the district will be posting the open band direct position for the 2013-14 school year.
"The selection committee will include a parent representative to ensure community input in hiring the best possible candidate," Lea said.
According to Daeschler's online profile, his teaching responsibilities included Freshman Band, Symphonic Band, Symphonic Winds, Wind Ensemble and The Marching Wildcats. He also directed Jazz Ensemble II.
Prior to his arrival at Libertyville, he taught at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he served as the conductor of the University Band, assistant conductor of the historic Summer Band, assistant director of the Basketball Band, on the staff of the Marching Illini and an instructor of conducting.
He also was a supervisor of pre-service teaching experiences for undergraduate instrumental music education majors. During that same time he completed coursework for a doctor of education in Music Education degree. As a teacher at the university, he achieved "outstanding" status on the List of Teachers Ranked as Excellent by Their Students.
Daeschler holds a bachelor of music education and a master of music education, also from Illinois.
From 2003-08, Daeschler served as director of bands at Amos Alonzo Stagg High School in south suburban Palos Hills where he guided all aspects of the instrumental music program, including a two-time grand champion marching band, three concert bands, two percussion ensembles, jazz ensemble, pep band, and pit orchestra for the musical. Prior to Stagg he was the band/choir director at downstate Rantoul Township High School.
Daeschler is the second Lake County high school teacher to be removed from his job in the last month for allegedly having inappropiate contact with students. In December, Brandon Brown, 30, a Waukegan High School coach and physical education teacher was charged with criminal sexual assault for allegedly having sex with a student.

2013 Vintage
From other reviews I read here I knew this beer would be a sugar bomb, but this was unbelievably sweet. Diabetes in a glass. I couldn't finish my ~ 4oz taster. Just too sweet for my palate. Underneath the overwhelming sweetness there were some nice vinous raisin notes, but these were completely overshadowed by the sugar. I wish I could have tried this fresh as the coffee might have helped with the sweetness.
The creation of "Dude Lord"
One of the people tasting the beer remarked that it reminded him of Kahlua. No one in our tasting group was able to drink this sugary beast, so we decided to make it into a White Russian.
Recipe: 1/3 vodka, 1/3 dark lord 2013, 1/3 milk. Shake and strain over ice.
The dude lord was a slight improvement to the beer, and it allowed us to finish the bottle. The sweetness is cut nicely by the milk and ice. If you have a 2013 sitting around that is too cloying for you to drink, try this out. Just finish your glass before it starts to get chunky.

I received a bottle of this in a trade years ago. Sudsdog was the sender and this is the white wax vintage, year 2009. I have been waiting for a special occasion to crack open this former Holy Grail of beers, and the perfect opportunity has arisen. I just completed my first IRONMAN 70.3 race, and to celebrate this huge accomplishment, I am cracking this one open.
Pours from the 22oz bottle into a La Fin Du Monde tulip snifter. Emerges as black as motor oil and nearly as thick. Topped with a smallish, off white colored head. There is some sporadic lacing involved, but honestly, at over 15% abv, I wasnt expecting much.
Aroma is pure impy stout goodness. Chocolate, coffee, alcohol, raisins, toffee, figs, vanilla. Quite impressive that even after five years this one is smelling great.
Awesome flavor on this one. I am always trepidacious when trying super hyped beers, but this one lives up to the hype. Outstanding! The alcohol is well hidden with everything in the aroma coming out in the flavor. Very smooth amd creamy. Full bodied and velvetty.
A true classic and a great beer. Glad I got the chance to try this one.

Was able to get a pour of this one at a mini bottle share. Poured out of a brown 750 mL bottle with the neck dipped in yellow wax, indicating that this is 2011 vintage. Poured into a small old fashioned glass.
Appearance - Pouring aggressively to coax out a presumably waning head from the three years of cellaring, I'm able to get just a little bit of ecru colored foam that quickly disappears, leaving nothing but inky black motor oil and a slim ring of foam around the edge of the glass.
Smell - Rich and full of roasted malt, cacao nibs, and faint notes of fresh coffee beans. It seems like the time has allowed the coffee notes to fade, as it's all but impossible to detect at this point. In addition to the more prototypical stout aromas, there are some elements that remind me more of a great Belgian quad, with some notes of dark fruit and port wine.
Taste - The initial foray onto my tastebuds seems more savory than expected, with some faint notes of balsamic and figs to go alongside the charred malts and black strap molasses. The coffee is pretty much gone at this point, but some sweeter notes of f vanilla and carmelized sugar still remain. The finish is very rich and savory, like an aged port wine, much like the nose hinted.
Mouthfeel - Viscous and full bodied, with low carbonation and a semisweet finish.
Overall, a really tasty beer. Would love to know how this one tastes fresh, with the inclusion of coffee, but I can't really complain, because I can't help but feel that the coffee would overcome what has become a subtly complex beer, with lots of sweet and savory notes over the course of the glass. Very happy to have been able to try it, but given how limited it is, not sure I'll go out of my way to seek it out again.

JERUSALEM — Wrapping up a three day visit to Israel, President Barack Obama paid respects to its heroes and to victims of the Holocaust, solemnly reaffirming the Jewish state's right to exist.

After a visit to Israel's national museum to inspect the Dead Sea Scrolls, which highlight the Jewish people's ancient connection to the land that is now Israel, Obama headed to the West Bank to tell the Palestinians that the creation of a Palestinian state remains a priority for his administration. (AP Photo/Pablo Martinez Monsivais)
Accompanied by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres, Obama laid wreaths at the graves of Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism who died in 1904 before realizing his dream of a Jewish homeland, and former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995.
He also toured the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial, declaring after that the memorial illustrates the depravity to which man can sink but also serves as a reminder of the "righteous among nations who refused to be bystanders."
Friday's stop at Herzl's grave, together with Thursday's visit to see the Dead Sea Scrolls, the ancient Hebrew texts, were symbolic stops for Obama that acknowledged that the rationale for Israel's existence rests with its historical ties to the region and with a vision that predated the Holocaust. Obama was criticized in Israel for his 2009 Cairo speech in which he gave only the example of the Holocaust as reason for justifying Israel's existence.
"Here on your ancient land, let it be said for all the world to hear," Obama said at Yad Vashem Friday, in a clear response to that criticism. "The state of Israel does not exist because of the Holocaust, but with the survival of a strong Jewish state of Israel, such a holocaust will never happen again."
Later in the day, Obama was traveling to Jordan where he planned to meet with King Abdullah II. Among the topics is Jordan's struggle with the influx of a half-million refugees from the Syrian civil war. Abdullah has voiced fears that extremists and terrorists could create a regional base in Jordan.
Before leaving for Jordan, Obama was to have lunch with Netanyahu and then tour the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
Obama and his hosts arrived at the somber Herzl grave site under cloudless skies. Obama approached Herzl's resting place alone and bowed his head in silence. He turned briefly to ask Netanyahu where to place a small stone in the Jewish custom, then laid the stone atop the grave.
"It is humbling and inspiring to visit and remember the visionary who began the remarkable establishment of the State of Israel," Obama wrote in the Mt. Herzl guestbook. "May our two countries possess the same vision and will to secure peace and prosperity for future generations."
At Rabin's grave a short walk away, Obama was greeted by members of Rabin's family. He initially placed a stone on Rabin's wife's side of the grave, then returned to place one atop Rabin's side. In a gesture linking the U.S. and Israel, the stone placed on Rabin's grave was from the grounds of the Martin Luther King memorial in Washington, the White House said.
Rabin, Obama told family members, was "a great man."
Chatting with the family, Obama joked that "Bibi arranged for perfect weather," using Netanyahu's familiar name. He then added that "Shimon plied me with wine" at the official state dinner Thursday evening. At one point the talk turned to the singer who performed at the dinner, and Obama pointed out that he was known to sing, too. "They had me on YouTube," he said with a laugh. "Check it out -- Obama singing Al Green."
At Yad Vashem, Obama donned a skull cap and was accompanied by Rabbi Israel Meir Lau, a survivor of the Buchenwald Concentration camp who lost both parents in the Holocaust. Among his stops was Yad Vashem's Hall of Names, a circular chamber that contains original testimony documenting every Holocaust victim ever identified.
"Nothing could be more powerful," Obama said.

Why She's No.60?
The seductive power of Aishwarya Rai's beauty is so strong that when she flutters those lashes over her famous blue-green eyes, she kicks up tornadoes the world over. Yet, as a key member of the Bollywood elite, she is virtually required to maintain a wholesome public image; she carries herself around with the modesty and poise of a well-behaved schoolgirl (hot!).
Aishwarya Rai starred in just two Bollywood films in 2008 (far below the industry norm), Sarkar Raj and Jodhaa Akbar. She also received nominations for her role in a 2007 film, Guru; she was nominated for the Best Actress award from the Awards of the International Indian Film Academy, and for the same title from the Screen Weekly Awards. We can look forward to seeing Aishwarya Rai in at least three films in 2009, including Hollywood's The Pink Panther 2. Read more about Aishwarya Rai
Short Bio
In 1993, Aishwarya Rai was likely the most beautiful student at Raheja College of Architecture in Mumbai. However, this legendary beauty couldn't keep a low profile for long. In 1994, she was crowned Miss World. In 1997, she made her film debut with a role in Iruvar, and has since risen to become one of the most celebrated and beloved actresses in Bollywood.

"They had lost their first nine games and then it went to 12 before they beat us in their 13th game for their first win," recalls the 48-year old Brundage. "I wouldn't wish that sort of start on anyone, but the fans here were behind their team."
The passion that he felt from the Lehigh Valley fans that first visit and in every visit after that over five seasons was one factor in helping Brundage to make the decision to take the job with the Phillies Triple-A team.
"I've managed here in their games at 10:35 in the morning and at noon and two-o'clock, night games, it never mattered; the fans were passionate and behind their team," said Brundage.
Brundage takes over for Ryne Sandberg, who joins Charlie Manuel's staff in Philadelphia after two seasons at the helm of the 'Pigs. As players, the two were like night and day; Sandberg had a Hall of Fame career as a second baseman, while Brundage never did make the majors. One similarity is that the two were both drafted by the Phillies, with Sandberg being taken in the 20th round of the 1978 Draft and Brundage going in the fourth round of the 1986 Draft.
"I spent six years at Triple-A as a player and every year, I'd hear that I would be returning the next year and I'd think 'how do you know? I might be in the majors next year.' I never proved them wrong, but I always remember that," laughed Brundage.
The new Boss Hogg, as the name plate on the manager's door says, has talked to a few players who he may have on his Lehigh Valley roster, but isn't making any assumptions. Brundage has known hitting coach Sal Rende and is looking forward to working with him. As for pitching coach Ray Burriss, also new to Lehigh Valley, Brundage doesn't know him, but has spoken with him on the phone and looks forward to getting to know him.
"I expect a lot from my players, but I'm also willing to do all I can to prepare them and get them ready to make it to the majors," explained Brundage. "As a Triple-A manager, that's my job."
Brundage knows some of the top managers in baseball, including Lou Piniella, Mike Hargrove and Bobby Cox. He puts his style closest to that of Cox.
"Am I going to kick my hat and get suspended for four or five games? Probably not. I like to think that I'm more of a Bobby Cox kind of manager, because I learned so much from being around him. I believe in playing the game aggressive. My job is to get the most out of our players however I see fit; that's my job."

How to be a budget organic
Jul 30, 2008 10:57 AM »
Amazing how we go round and round. We start out with all this technology etc and then find that the old, traditional way of doing things was the best way anyhow. -- J.
How to Be a Budget Organic
What's worth the extra cost, what's not, and how to save in other ways
With all the news about rising food costs, you may be wondering if the organic milk you've been putting in your cart is worth the extra cash. It is. Organic food is more expensive, but when it comes to the staples of your diet, organics are a worthwhile investment, with payoffs that might surprise you. The benefits influence your health today — and long-term. Here, why certain foods are worth the splurge, plus tips to save you money while keeping your diet nutritionally and ecologically sound.
They Have More Nutrients:
Reports of organic food not being better for you are outdated. A brand new analysis of about 100 studies, including more than 40 published in the past 7 years, found that the average levels of nearly a dozen nutrients are 25% higher in organic produce.
There May Be Weight Benefits:
Research in rats found that those fed an all-organic diet (versus conventional food) had lower weights, less body fat, and stronger immune systems. Plus, the "clean diet" animals were calmer and slept better.
You Consume Fewer Toxins:
Eating the 12 most contaminated fruits and vegetables exposes you to about 14 pesticides a day. A study supported by the EPA measured pesticide levels in children's urine before and after a switch to an organic diet. After just 5 days, the chemicals decreased to undetectable levels.
The number one barrier that prevents shoppers from taking advantage of these benefits: cost. These are the top organic picks on which to spend your food dollars.
The most important fruits and vegetables you should buy organic: (1) those with the greatest pesticide residues and (2) the ones you eat most often. Government lab tests show that even after washing, certain fruits and vegetables carry much higher levels of pesticides than do others. Between 2000 and 2005, the not-for-profit Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzed the results of nearly 51,000 tests for residues on produce. Based on the data, they created a "dirty dozen" list of the most contaminated fruits and veggies. Top offenders include: peaches, apples, bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, pears, grapes (imported), spinach, lettuce, and potatoes. Always buying these foods organic is ideal, but if you can't, focus on those you eat all the time.
Shop Smart
Buy organic produce in season (preferably local), when it's most affordable — usually at half the cost.
Shop Smart
Choose organic foods without fancy packaging. A bag of 10 2-ounce single-serving packets of organic baby carrots is $5, but for $3.50 less, you can buy a 1-pound bag of whole organic carrots. This veggie is not on the EWG's high-risk list, but if you buy carrots often, go organic.
Milk, Yogurt & Cheese
Per half gallon, organic milk is more expensive — about $4 versus $2.50 — but it's worth the splurge. Recent studies revealed impressive findings on organic milk. Here are some highlights:
It contains 75% more beta-carotene, as much as a serving of brussels sprouts.
It has 50% more vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that aids the immune system and fights cancer and heart disease.
It provides 2 to 3 times the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, and about 70% more omega-3 fatty acids.
Organic milk also contains more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). This good fat has been linked to numerous health benefits, including stronger immunity, less belly fat, a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, and healthier arteries. Like meat, organic dairy contains no hormones or antibiotics, and there are no pesticides in the cows' feed. (In 2005, diphenylamine, a pesticide residue, was found in up to 92% of more than 700 conventional milk samples.) Current guidelines recommend three servings of dairy per day, and among organic choices, milk tends to be the most frugal option at about 50 cents per 1-cup serving (versus 31 cents for conventional). Organic cheese (about $1.30 per serving) and yogurt (about 60 cents per serving) are also more costly.
Shop Smart
Download coupons
Many organic dairy companies such as Stonyfield Farm (stonyfield.com) and Organic Valley (organicvalley.coop) offer printable coupons on their sites for as much as $1 off a half gallon of milk or 16-ounce container of yogurt.
Meat & Poultry
A study in the journal Meat Science compared the nutritional content of organic and nonorganic chicken meat. The researchers found that the organic samples contained 28% more omega-3s, essential fatty acids that are linked to reduced rates of heart disease, depression, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, inflammation, and Alzheimer's disease. Animals raised organically can't be given antibiotics or growth hormones.
Shop Smart
Stretch it
The recommended portion size for meat and poultry is 3 ounces, the size of a deck of cards. Stick to this amount and round out your meal with less expensive whole grains and veggies to dramatically cut meal costs and improve nutritional balance. A pound of organic whole chicken for $4 can feed a family of four with brown rice and in-season veggies on the side.
Shop Smart
Become a "flexitarian"
Choose beans as a protein source a few times a week. A 15-ounce can of organic beans is just $1.20, and a 1-cup serving provides 36% of your daily fiber needs. Bonus: Beans are some of the highest ranking antioxidant foods.
Organics to Skip
Step into any health food store and you're likely to find an organic version of just about everything, including cotton candy. While it's true that organic "junk foods" are better for the planet, they generally aren't better for you. A six-pack of organic soda costs $5; yes, it's made without high fructose corn syrup, but each can contains 160 calories (20 more than a 12-ounce can of Coca-Cola Classic) and zero nutrients. Cutting back on sweets and nutritionally void extras altogether is the best way to get the most nutrition bang for your buck.
More ways to save
1. Go generic
Nearly every mainstream supermarket now carries organic store-brand options, including Safeway's O Organics line, H-E-B's Central Market Organic selections, Wal-Mart's Great Value private label, Stop & Shop's Nature's Promise, and Supervalu's Wild Harvest. Organics are also available within Kroger, Publix, and Wegmans store brands.
2. Join a price club
Organic options can be found at Costco, BJ's, and Sam's Club.
3. Buy in bulk
You can purchase many organic grains (including brown and wild rice and whole oats), pastas, flours, dried fruits, and nuts in the bulk sections of stores for far less. Organic brown rice in bulk is about 99 cents per pound.

Our house faces north and the sun seldom hits the stairs in the winter. When it snows or sleets or anyone walks on snow before I have been able to get it cleaned off we had a pack of ice that seemed to last forever. It was very unsafe for anyone trying to use the stairs. A couple of years ago I bought two packs of the three treads and hooked them together and the stairs have been clear of ice and snow ever since. We were afraid that someone would get badly hurt on them. We have had many compliments from visitors and delivery men since then. It doesn't stay on all the time but comes on when the temp drops to freezing.
